Connecting with your Light

Listening for the song within

Sometimes our life does not unfold in a straight line. It arrives in fragments and quiet longings that do not yet make sense together.

I’ve learned to slow down, turn inward, and listen for the whispers of my heart.

This poem is about trusting that inner song and allowing it to guide us forward, one clear note at a time.

I see visions floating before my eyes —

fragments that do not seem to fit together.

Each one calls to me,

tugging gently at the strings of my heart.

Are these the quiet callings of my soul?

Where are they leading me?

They feel magical — empowering —

like the beauty of an unfolding flower.

Perhaps they are symbols, message posts

marking the path I seek to follow.

My heart longs

for the calling of my soul

to be fulfilled.

As I sit in stillness,

I wait for clarity to form.

A bird lands on the branch beside me and whispers,

Follow me,

I am the song of your soul.

Stay close, and I will guide you.

If you feel resistance, like a note out of tune —

pause and listen.

Resistance is a message,

an invitation to reflect and realign.

I inhale deeply,

and peace washes over me.

I am not alone on this journey.

I am not lost.

The spirit within me

is always guiding —softly singing.

With my feet firmly planted,

I listen for a single clear note.

Then I step forward,

trusting I am following

the song of my soul.
